Full-neck sweat rug made from luxurious bouclé fabric for Icelandic horses
Medium-weight, voluminous and elastic teddy bouclé in extra fluffy quality and a high-necked, close fit at the neck and chest are the perfect combination for effective perspiration wicking. The roll neck blanket can be closed with a high-end zip. This is easy to close, sturdy, stretchy and auto-stop secured. Thanks to two-way technology, the cut can be individually adjusted. The well-designed cut is generous and therefore fits all back lengths from 115-135, the neck is cleverly positioned and fits thick and thin necks. The rug does not require any buckles or straps - simply throw it on and you're done! If you still want a girth, you can buy one from us.
Why Do I Need A Cooler Rug?
It is important icelandic horse equipment to protect the horse's health! Sweat-bonded undercoat means that the coat no longer offers protection from cold and rain. This leads to colds or muscle tension. That is why it is worth to put on a rug for at least 15-30 minutes after riding the horse.
After this time, your horse should have sweated off enough that the coat near the skin is dry. If it's not dry enough, you can put it in one of our softshell paddock blankets to finish sweating off and bring it into the paddock.
Faster drying can be enabled by clipping for particularly heavy sweating horses . When riding, you can also take precautions with a sweat-absorbing saddle pad, so that the saddle area is ideally already dry after unsaddling.
Cooler Rug: What Size Do I Need For My Icelandic Horse?
The horses length of the back, not its height determins the Rug Size. Our Sportsfreund rug in size 125 fits all Icelandic horses - regardless of size or stature. We have established this from years of experience, as the back length of Icelandic horses differs only minimally.
To measure the exact length, use a flexible tape measure. Measure from the highest point of the withers to the base of the tail - this is the decisive value for the blanket size. The result will be a value between 115 cm and 125 cm. Even if the height of Icelandic horses varies, the back is generally not significantly longer or shorter.
The rug also takes into account the minimal variation in neck length and thickness - there are only slight differences in the cut. These are already factored into the size of the neck piece so that the blanket fits perfectly.
